Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a kneading household appliance depending on determination of a texture of a preparation (M) produced in a kneading household appliance (1) that comprises a work tool (2a, 2b, 2c) for working the preparation (M), the tool being attached to a drive output (3), the drive output (3) being rotated by a main motor, the method comprising: - a step of determining a fundamental frequency (Ff) of a supply current (C) of the main motor; - a step of recording the supply current (C) of the main motor; - an analysing step in which an analysis quantity is determined depending on at least one value of the amplitude (A) of a Fourier transform of the supply current (C) for the fundamental frequency (Ff); - a comparing step in which a texture parameter is determined depending on a comparison of the analysis quantity with a comparison criterion.
